Figure 6
Bottom panel: Total crystallite energies, as a function of enclosing carbon nanotube diameter, for the single-cation centred chain () and the `staggered' (×) and `ladder' (+) double-chain structures. Top left panel: The Lennard-Jones C-ion interaction energies as a function of nanotube diameter. The key is as for the main panel. Top right panel: Energy/volume curves for four crystal structures of MX3 stoichiometry. Key: UCl3, YCl3, + PuBr3, × ZrI3. |
